Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Play — Players play note cards on song cards to score points.
- Hand Management — Players draw three cards from their deck.
- Set Collection — Matching notes to the song can score bonus points.
- Take That — Playing hot dogs on cards prevents others from tooting; baboons eat hot dogs to allow tooting again; playing the same card as a previous one is a 'blowout' to screw someone over.
